Alick Macheso salutes NAMA. Alick Macheso’s handlers reckon their camp still has plenty to offer after their chief dancer Selamane “Majuice” Mpochi walked to the winner’s podium at the National Arts Merit Awards held at HICC over the weekend.
Majuice won the Outstanding Male Dancer gong at the awards ceremony where he shrugged off still stiff competition from two dancers Tawanda Tanaka Fireyi from My Journey To The International Scene and Tichaona Chikara in Hero’s +. Majuice was all smiles as he saluted his boss Macheso for his contribution.
“I would like to thank my boss for giving me this exposure and I wouldn’t want to disappoint him. “I know there are many people who can easily replace me at Orchestra Mberiwkwazvo but I would like to remain dedicated to him and do my work diligently.
“It’s a task that I have taken upon myself and I will do my best to ensure that we keep the brand going onwards,” he said. Similar sentiments were echoed by Orchestra Mberikwazvo publicist Tich Makahamadze who accompanied Majuice to the awards ceremony before their show in Chegutu on the same night.
“This victory means a lot to us as a band and this is the first time a sungura outfit has won this gong which used to be a preserve of the elites. “The win means that sungura still has plenty to offer and we will continue doing our best,” he said.
Being one of the senior people in the band, Makahamadze urged Majuice to remain level-headed. “I know that that boy is happy but it is our duty as management to ensure that the man remains focused on his work.
“We will not let him get carried away as the victory means a lot for his career. “In fact, this victory means that he needs to continue working hard,” he added. Meanwhile, Macheso who was clad in a 4 May designer suit had a good day in office when he thrilled fans during the opening stages of the awards ceremony.
He performed their duet Ngaibake along with Freeman and contemporary dancers and left fans in awe. To say their performance was polished would be an understatement. Maybe, magical is the right word to sum it all on a night when Zimbabwe showered him with love.
